I hear the laughter from another life
The night is young for someone
But to me it's as old as October's leaves
God don't bring on the winter please
Can't you see my broken city heart

I'm by the side of this thoroughfare
This concrete promise that leads nowhere
Lit by neon, framed by stone
I'm the question on your journey home
Can't you see my broken city heart

Star of wonder, star of light
I don't see you in my cut of sky
Just the fumes, the haze, the canopy
This world is drawing over me
